Everyone knows that being a master in the cultivation world is a high-risk occupation. Taking on disciples has become a matter of life and death for entire sects.
You can't take in disciples who are beautiful and gifted, or plain-looking ones with average talent, in case they awaken. And if they're ugly with terrible physiques, there's always the risk they'll make a comeback. It isn't the master being seduced by his younger disciple that's terrifying, but the possibility of dragging the whole sect down with him and becoming a sinner for the ages.
Following their ancestral precepts, Huayang Sect has not taken in a decent young disciple for over a hundred years.
The young elder Yan Xiuzhu refuses to believe in the curse. He openly takes the stunningly beautiful young Mo Xiao as his final disciple, vowing to break the curse and raise the most beautiful, loyal, and powerful disciple on all of Misty Peak!
The elders and sect master of Huayang Sect are horrified, while the immortals of Misty Peak sit back and watch the show.
Ten years later, Mo Xiao follows the usual path of awakening. Yan Xiuzhu is thrilled: his beauty-obsessed self is about to have an ultimate, evolved version of the most beautiful young disciple in the immortal realm. But what he gets is a dark-skinned, chiseled, muscular hunk of a man.
Yan Xiuzhu beats his chest in despair. "Give me back my fair-skinned, beautiful, breathtakingly lovely little disciple!!!"
As his vigorous young disciple grows stronger and stronger, Yan Xiuzhu becomes afraid. He doesn't mind a younger man, but this isn't my type, sob...
Mo Xiao had only ever wanted to stay by his master's side. Even with his ancient bloodline and extraordinary talent, he never once considered harming his sect. But after he awakened, his master's attitude changed completely. Under the pretext of letting him continue his cultivation under the sect master's tutelage, Yan Xiuzhu sent him away and took in two more peerlessly beautiful young disciples.
The former darling disciple: ...
I gave my heart to a dog. My master forced me to rebel, so I had no choice but to comply.
There was only one goal: to tie his beauty-obsessed master to his side, so he would never dare lust after anyone else's body again!
The immortals of Misty Peak gathered to gossip: See? You really can't take in a good-looking young disciple. Even if he turns ugly, he'll still rebel!
